Put the Bibles back!
A Navy spokesman confirms that Bibles will be returned to base lodges, and they’ve also launched an investigation to determine why God’s Word was removed from guest rooms in the first place.
Navy Exchange, which runs the base lodges, sent a directive out in June ordering the Bibles removed, after the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint. The atheist group alleged the books were a violation of the U.S. Constitution and amounted “to a government endorsement of that religious text.”
Navy spokesman Ryan Perry said the decision was made without their knowledge.
“In June 2014, Navy Exchange Command (NEXCOM) made a decision, without consultation of senior Navy leadership, to transfer religious materials from the Navy Lodge to the local command religious program,” Perry said in a written statement. “That decision and our religious accommodation policies with regard to the placement of religious materials are under review.”
During the review process, Perry said the “religious materials” that were removed will be returned.
The Bibles had been donated to the Navy by Gideons International, a global ministry that provides copies of the Good Book to schools, military personnel and hotels.
Tim Wildmon, of the American Family Association, called the Navy’s decision great news. He said thousands of their supporters contacted the Navy to protest the removal.

The biggest myth being spread by the scum sucking, bottom feeders these days is that the Constitution provides for the freedom from religion. These bottom feeders are worse than the muzzies when it comes to Christians.
Don’t join the military of Barak Obama —don’t be a heartless scum-bag.
Encourage others to improve the world and their lives by quitting.

So many just roll over when they get a letter.
A mere letter.
A d@mn piece of paper.
You mean someone is coming to their senses?
And the devil never should have rebelled... you gonna cry for a world that never was, or fight the battle we have been set?
There are atheists in foxholes. Apparently the football guy (I forget his name) was one and some in his family believe he was fragged.
Malicious Obamanoids.... in the woodwork...

It shouldn’t be difficult to discover who gave the order, unless it came directly from the WH.
In the latter case, all computers crashed.
0bama and crew will now remove whoever made the decision to put them back
count on it
Problem: Some feel there are too many Christians in the military. Solution: Draft homosexuals and atheists for mandatory military service and let them defend the country.
By allowing access? Yes, access to God's word must be denied to our troops! That is what the founders intended!

No, they usually go someplace else to a better job.
>> The biggest myth
It’s certainly not a myth.
In the final analysis, I’m completely content living my life according to God and Constitution. Anyone that disagrees or attempts to make that an impossibility can go to Hell.
Bump
I’d like to see that happen! It will be like the UN army.
